INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/3 cup roasted Chickpeas
3/4 cup shelled Edamame
3.5 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 medium Avocado, diced
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Cucumber, sliced
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the drained chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
Meanwhile, press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder if desired, and sauté in a non-stick pan until golden on all sides.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once cooked.
Blanch the shelled edamame in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, sautéed tofu, and edamame. Add fresh spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.
Gently fold in the diced avocado.
Drizzle the mixture with fresh lemon juice and a tiny extra adjustment of olive oil if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss all ingredients gently to ensure an even distribution of flavors and serve immediately.
